There is no question as to which is thu

variably taken place when Mrs. Cleveland
was member of the party. Since Mr.
Cleveland left her in the upper part OF

1t will be remembered that the Kansas

ladies who pointedly Informed the presi-
dent that it was Mrs. Cleveland who they
most desired to see. The marriage of Mr.
Cleveland to the estimable and popular
lady he secured for wife early in his ad

his career would have passed speedily

WE WANT TO KNOW. YOU KNOW

WE WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW
So poor Kansas City is to be disappoint-
ed in her expectations in the matter OF the
presidents visit to that place. After all the
elaborate preparation making-on paper
for the pompous receptions and gorgeous
likewise on paper-of his
excellency, 1t is now semi officially an
nounced that between the time of his de
parture from st. Louis and arrival In
Memphis only two days are given on the
program. This two days includes the visit
to Kansas City, st. Louis, Minneapolis and
other points, to say nothing of the fifteen
hundred miles of travel. What concerns
Kansans most In this connection Is how
the blow hard of the Sni hills will be able
to provide the day for their special benefit,
which she has so generously offered and
ma unanimously designated kansas day,
within the few hours the president will re-
main her guest. Kansas wants to know,
you know, because she don't want to slight
the invitation to make day of 1t in the
city that honors her with its name, nor yet
appear to snub the chief executive during
his sojourn hard by her threshold, so to
speak.

Ex-Governor Luke P. Blackburn. OF
Kentucky is reported to be dying. He
will be remembered in this country as the
man who, during the war. proposed to in
troduce small pox into the north by means
of infected clothing, and also the promul
gator of the theory of the isothermal line
as applied to the existence and prevalence
of yellow fever as an epidemic, which the
DRY lulled the citizens of Hickman, Ken
lucky, and Union City, Tennessee, into
fancied security at the breaking out of the
scourge in Memphis in 1879 and cost scores
of them their lives. And In addition to his
vageries he was an egotist the most in
ordinate. During his candidacy for gov
ernor of Kentucky he was often heard to
exclaim, Il have done more for humanity
than any man who eyer lived in any coun-
try In any age" But with all this within,
sicalities and oddities he was kind heart
ed old man, philanthropic in his nature,
and had many arlent admirers and sup
porters. 1t is but just to him in this con-
nection to state that he stoutly denied the
charge first above alluded to, and
whether he was guilty of the intent or in
nocent, now that he is pressing the con
fines of the shadow land charity suggests
the drawing of the veil that may shut out
from view his many foibles.

Both the labor parties in New York have
now held their state conventions The
Union Labor party had its gathering a
week ago, and the United Labor party, of
which Henry George is the head, met yes
terdsy. The first named organization is
not likely TO poll many votes in thst state
this Year. The vote Of the Henry George
party, however, will probably reach 81, 600
or 20, 600. Its leaders profess to believe 1t
will receive 150, 900 at least. Last fall IT
gave George, in New York city alone, 6S,-
600 votes for mayor. This year its vote in
that city will probably not be nearly so
great as that, but the vote of the party In

The poor, stammering boss of the sec
ton of railroad that embraced the point
where the disaster occurred near Chats
worth, H., is made solely blamable for the
catastrophe by the coroner's jury that in
vestigated the terrible affair. The re
sponsibllity is placed upon him, they say,
because he failed to keep watch over the
section under his supervision which his
duties required of him. At this distance
from the scene one is only able to
judge of the circumstances as described
through the telegraphic dispatches; the
jury of inquest certainly had much better
opportunities to arrive at just conclusion,
being on the ground and having witnesses
before them. Nevertheless In the investigs-
ton two persons, one the station agent at
Piper City. only short distance away,
the other the son Of farmer who lives
near by, both of whom stated that they
saw the fire early in the night, but neither
gave warning or in any way attempted To

AS TO SHERIDAN'S NATIVITY.

To The Editor OF The Eagle.
The Leading editorial in yesterdays Kan
sas City Times deals with Gen. Sheridan
as possible Republican candidate for The
presidency. Permit me to ask, In view Of
the very general recognition of the genera
as such by the press of this country, is hi
eligible to the office of president? Was he
not born in Ireland, of Irish parents, a,
| that time not nsturalized citizen of the
United States? Such is my impression,
and 1t is the recollection of several parties
about this building that in the Republican
national convention of $780, OF the occasion
of one vote being cast for General Sheri-
dan, the general himself stated to the con-
vention that he is not native-born citizen
and that he is therefore not eligible to the
presidency. Can the EAGLE help settle
this question: l. K. W.
Citizens Bank Building, Aug. 10.
The encyclopedias give General Sheri-
dams place cf birth as Ohio, and the West
Point Register which contains the names of
all cadets, their place of birth and state and
district from which appointed, shows that
he was born at or near Somerset, Perry
county, Ohio, in 1881. which would seem
to settle the question of his nativity and
consequent eligibility to any Office within
the gift of the people, from president down.
pretty effectually. 1t also contradicts the
statement that he made the declaration
credited to him before the convention of
1890. General Sheridan's name has been
used by number Of prominent papers of
the country in very complimentary terms
In connection with the nomination for the
presidency by the Republican party next
year, and whether he shall be the nominee
or not the matter will not be affected by the
question of eligibility as shows above.

A Democratic contemporary remarks
that the Seventeen thousand plurality fol
Governor Buckner in Kentucky may not
be enough to justify any reckless expendi-
ture of money for brass bands and fire
works. but it will serve all practical pur.
poses" Democrats are philosophical OF
nothing. However, if such assurance is
satisfying to the brethren of that political
faith the Republicans can stand the result
mentioned in view to reduction in the
Democratic majority of fifty per cent. Of
that Of two years ago.
